The brand's summer menu also includes a new $3 Breakfiesta and new Strawberry Piñata Shake made with [M&M’s](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mini-mint-shakes) Candies. The new Queso Crunchtadas are a fun take on traditional tostadas that come in two different options. The new Nachotada Crunchtada starts with a thick, crunchy corn tortilla, which is then topped with the brand's signature Queso Blanco, slow-cooked beans, seasoned beef, crispy tortilla strips, and house-grated cheddar cheese, all topped with diced tomatoes, sour cream, and spicy sliced jalapeños. For something a little less spicy, the Chicken, Queso & Guac Crunchtada takes the same crispy tortilla and tops it with freshly grilled marinated chicken, the brand's signature Queso Blanco, house-grated cheddar cheese, fresh diced tomatoes, and guacamole. All of Del Taco's summer items can be found now through Thursday, July 28, 2022.
